H28 (Outdoor Pipe Temperature Sensor Abnormality)
Malfunction Decision Conditions
During startup and operation of cooling and heating, the temperatures detected by the outdoor pipe temperature
sensor are used to determine sensor errors.
Malfunction Caused
Faulty connector connection.
Faulty sensor.
Faulty PCB.
Troubleshooting
When abnormality indication starts again
Check the outdoor heat exchanger temperature sensor:
Plug out connector from the outdoor unit PCB
Measure the resistance of the outdoor heat exchanger
temperature sensor
For safety reason and to prevent
component breakdown, always switch
off the power before remove and
connect the component.
Is the measured resistance of the outdoor heat exchanger
temperature sensor matches the value specified in its
characteristic chart?
Defect in outdoor unit PCB
Replace the outdoor unit PCB
Check the connector connection:
Turn off the power
Check the connector connection
Is the connector connection normal?
YES
Connector poor contact
Correct the connection
NO
NO
YES
Defect in outdoor heat exchanger
temperature sensor
Replace the outdoor heat exchanger
